This 300-watt outdoor transformer will power your 12-volt or 24-volt lighting systems. When powering 12-volt systems, this is a 2-circuit transformer. When powering 24-volt systems, this is a 1-circuit transformer. All electrical connections can be conveniently stored in the included metal enclosure.

Uses: may be used to power 12-volt or 24-volt lighting systems.

Outdoor and Indoor Use: this transformer can be used both indoors and outdoors

Designed for Two 12-Volt Circuits: when this outdoor magnetic transformer is powering 12-volt lighting systems, it is a 2-circuit transformer with a maximum load of 120 watts per circuit

Designed for One 24-Volt Circuit: when this outdoor magnetic transformer is powering 24-volt lighting systems, it is a 1-circuit transformer with a maximum load of 240 watts

Maximum Load: 240 watts maximum of lighting load for 24-volt systems and 120 watts maximum of lighting load per circuit for 12-volt systems. Like most magnetic transformers, these transformers should be used to power about 80% of their wattage rating. [Caution: Always attach the load to the transformer before connecting the transformer to power.]

Input: 120 volts AC, 60 Hz, 2.8 amps

Input Leads: 6-inch 18 AWG wires

Output: 11.5 volts AC or 23 volts AC

Output Leads: 6-inch 12 AWG wires [Suggestion: Use a terminal block for each connection in the 12V output circuit and make certain that these connections are very tight and secure. Also, be sure that the gauge of the electrical wire used in the output circuit is not less than 12 AWG.]

Installation: the transformer and all of the hardwired electrical splices (connections) can be conveniently stored in the included metal enclosure

Outdoor Magnetic Transformer

August 12, 2012

Is well made, runs cool and easily handles my load. Built in terminals make installation easy and neat. I did find an error in the instructions regarding use in the 24v mode. But it was an obvius error and I determined proper hookup. I notified Pegasus and they quickly responded they had contacted their supplier to correct.

Pros:

Terminals for hookup, built in circuit breaker, solid construction.

Cons:

Error in instructions for using in 24v operations.

Good transformer

October 7, 2011

We used to use a transformer that has been discontinued. This one is definitely comparable - in fact, the same good product

By Andy from Michigan on August 24, 2014

When switched on with an external switch will this unit provide the 12 volt output?

By Jacob from Pegasus Lighting on August 25, 2014

Answer:

It can output either 12V or 24V. It's your choice. So yes, if it's connected to a switch, you can have it can output 12V.

How long is the power cord on this model?

By Jacob from Pegasus Lighting on December 3, 2012

Answer:

Matt,

This transformer does not include a power cord.

Does this transformer have a dial timer or digital?

By Jacob from Pegasus Lighting on March 25, 2013

Answer:

No, it does not have a timer.

In 12V mode does this unit have a boost tap? If so, can both 12V circuits be boosted using two tap wires? What is the color of the tap wire(s)? What is the voltage on the boost? Thanks.

By Jacob from Pegasus Lighting on September 19, 2014

Answer:

The boost tap applies for both the 12V and 24V options.

The tap wire is orange.

Yes, if you connect the orange wire per the instructions then both 12V circuits will be boosted.

The voltage is 10% plus 12V so 13.2V.

Can this product be utilized outdoors and exposed to the weather elements?

By Jacob from Pegasus Lighting on April 17, 2013

Answer:

Kevin,

Yes, this transformer is suitable for outdoor use.

I have a 2-circuit monorail in kitchen. Will this transformer power both circuits independently? I'm going to use LED-based MR16 lights.

By Jacob from Pegasus Lighting on October 13, 2014

Answer:

John, yes, it has 2 separate 12V circuits.

By Rico from CA on October 15, 2014

Answer:

LED lights usually require considerably less power than halogen (which is what I used this transformer for), however I do not see why it would not work for two LED monorails - using a dimmer on them is another matter.

By Kris from GA on January 26, 2013

Can I supply 12v to my gate equipment (keypad and exit loops) on one circuit and 12v to my landscape lighting on the other? If so, can a photocell be added on the lighting circuit?

By Jacob from Pegasus Lighting on January 28, 2013

Answer:

Yes, you can use the separate circuits in the manner you describe.

Yes, a photocell can be added.

By Bryan from Oregon on May 29, 2013

When using this transformer in 24V mode, does the unit come with a "boost tap" to bump the voltage for longer runs?

Is a schematic available online?

By Pegasus Lighting on May 30, 2013

Answer:

Yes, it does have a boost tap feature.

Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not publish a spec sheet online.

By Dustin from Kansas City on August 11, 2014

Can this be hardwired into a 120v line?

By Jacob from Pegasus Lighting on August 12, 2014

Answer:

Yes, it hardwires directly to 120V input voltage.

By Dustin from Kansas City on August 11, 2014

Can this be used for deck lighting? To dim deck lighting, I've been told you must install the dimmer on the low voltage side (not the 120v side). Is this true and can this be done with this model? It cautions against doing that so I thought I would ask. What kind of dimmer should I get for this purpose? Can you recommend one?

By Jacob from Pegasus Lighting on August 12, 2014

Answer:

Dustin,

This transformer is dimmable but not on the secondary/low voltage side.

It may be true that some deck lighting systems use a dimmer on the secondary side but it is not true that all deck lighting systems dim that way.
